On a Fall evening at Camelback Mountain, Phoenix police officers in a roving patrol car heard muted cries that sounded like they were coming from a wounded animal. Upon investigation, they discovered a young woman lying beaten by the side of the hiking trail, her head terribly bloody. After treating the woman, the officers immediately checked the surrounding area and found Peter Parker who was carrying a baseball bat, which appeared to have blood on it.

The police arrested Peter and took him to the police station. At the station, Peter was booked and put in a temporary holding cell while awaiting his arraignment. Shortly thereafter, a police detective walked in and without any introduction said, "We know you beat that girl on Camelback. Did you rape her too?" Peter responded, "No, I only hit her on the head once with the bat, to try to stun her." At Peter's subsequent trial for aggravated assault, the prosecution sought to introduce his statement as the main part of their case against him. May the statement be admitted?
